NOELLE Q
Over a pandemic winter Carl Frey built the NOELLE Q, an 8′ long, 26-pound kayak (19″ beam) from his own plans. Bottom and sides are 4 mm ocume plywood, deck is ¼″ cedar with a redwood center stripe, transom, stem and cockpit trim are pine harvested from his property and the chines are red oak grooved to accept the plywood members. A layer of polyester cloth and epoxy reinforces the bottom. Grandson Evan and granddaughter Noelle will pilot the boat (taking turns) on the nearby Lewes and Rehoboth Canal in Delaware.
